Nature of exchange: The type of interaction—either transactional (short-term, discrete exchanges) or relational (long-term, ongoing engagement)—which shapes the relationship’s structure and strategic importance.
Duration of relationships: The length of the engagement—long-term, short-term, or one-off—affecting planning, resource allocation, and value creation strategies.
